Description

A truly seminal and original thesis, this is a book that should be read by anyone interested in science, myth, and the interactions between the two.

In this classic work of scientific and philosophical inquiry, the authors track world myths to a common origin in early man's descriptions of cosmological activity, arguing that these remnants of ancient astronomy, suppressed by the Greeks and Romans and then forgotten, were really a form of pre-literate science.

Myth became the synapse by which science was transmitted.

Their truly original thesis challenges basic assumptions of Western science and theories about the transmission of knowledge.
